No. 106, Hangou Street, Baoying County, late at night.

Third Brother Liu and the wild lynx rescued Bai Yuchun, who was about to commit suicide by hanging a beam in the courtyard of Erjin, Bai Yuchun burst into tears, threw a tom, knelt on the ground, and said: "Third brother save me, third brother save me." He was choked up for a moment, and he couldn't speak.

Third Brother Liu said: "Little brother, speak slowly, there is a brother in charge for you, don't be busy, speak slowly." He helped Bai Yuchun to sit down on a chair, poured a glass of water, Bai Yuchun wiped away his tears, drank saliva to moisten his throat, sighed, and talked about the reason for the matter:

Ten days ago, the Qingchun opera troupe was acting in the Zhenjiang Dashikou theater, that night, just before the performance, Bai Yuchun and his wife Liu Yiyi were putting on makeup, and a young man came in, in a hurry, saying that he was from Liu Yiyi's hometown Baoying County, and went to Suzhou to do business. Bai Yuchun took the letter, and when he was about to read it, the gongs and drums at the opening of the front desk had already sounded, he took the letter into his arms, thanked the person who came over, and hurriedly finished putting on makeup with Liu Yiyi, and then performed on stage.

Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi are very dedicated, they entered the role as soon as they came on stage, and that night they played "The Legend of the White Snake", the story of Xu Xian and the White Lady was vividly interpreted by them, and the audience applauded thunderously, Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi also played very enjoyable. About the plot of the water flooding Jinshan in the play, Jinshan Temple is on the riverside on the outskirts of Zhenjiang, and the people of Zhenjiang are particularly favored, whether they are drama fans or not, they are in groups of three or five, swarming here, especially popular, Bai Yuchun is naturally very happy. After unloading, when the two of them went back to the inn to undress and go to bed, Bai Yuchun dropped a letter in his arms, and then remembered the letter brought by his father-in-law just now. Bai Yuchun hurriedly opened the envelope and read the letter: Yuchun is still like meeting: Recently, he suddenly got sick, bedridden, and I am afraid that the days are numbered. People went to Suzhou to do goods, and Yu Juzhen was no longer competent to carry the pen, so he asked the village to write a book and ask someone to deliver it along the way. Stop here and talk about the rest. Father-in-law word. A certain day of the month.

After reading it, Liu Yiyi burst into tears, and Bai Yuchun was also very anxious. However, it was already late at night, Bai Yuchun comforted his beloved wife with kind words, and the two discussed that they would set off for Baoying County in northern Jiangsu as soon as it was dawn tomorrow.

The next day, the husband and wife said goodbye to Bai Yilin and rushed to Baoying County. The next afternoon, he rushed to No. 106 Hangou Street, opened the door, and saw his father tending to flowers and plants in the courtyard, and his mother weaving cloth in front of the window. Bai Yuchun was very different, thinking that his father-in-law had recovered from his illness, and he was pleasantly surprised. "Dad, are you well?"

The father-in-law said angrily: "This child, the first thing I said when we met was that I was sick or something, when did I get sick, and I didn't speak in a measured way." ”

Bai Yuchun took out the letter and said, "Hey, what's going on, Dad, did you write this letter?"

My father-in-law took the letter and read it again, then tore it up and said, "I haven't written a letter, and I haven't asked anyone to write a letter for me, I'm living a good life, and I don't have any illness. ”

The mother-in-law left the loom and greeted her, and was very happy, and said, "Old man, don't make any noise, since the child has come home, it is also a happy thing." It doesn't matter who writes the letter, let's talk about something glad to be happy about. Hurry up, come into the house and sit, you look at the children, the dust is dusty, it's hard enough, go into the house to rest, you should often go home to see, don't be busy making money, money is inexhaustible, tired body, not worth it. ”

The father-in-law turned his anger into joy, and when he thought about it, he said: "Yuchun, Yiyi, it's good to go home, it's good to go home, think about us, your mother and I are both over half a hundred years old, see one less time, often go home to gather, better than anything." ”

The two old men took the burden from the child's hands and let Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi into the house. Soak in fragrant tea and pull up the home.

Bai Yuchun also talked about the process of receiving the letter the day before yesterday, and his father-in-law was very puzzled, what kind of medicine was sold in the messenger's gourd? The answer soon came.

The family was chatting hotly, and six men came in outside, their faces tense, and one of the big men said: "Bai Yuchun, Liu Yiyi, the boss of my family invites you to sing in the hall." ”

As soon as Bai Yuchun saw that he was not good, he got up and clasped his fists, and said, "Brothers, I just arrived at my father-in-law's house, and I only drank two sips of a cup of tea, can I delay it for two days?"

Dahan said: "No, you have to leave immediately." ”

Bai Yuchun said: "By the way, a letter the day before yesterday deceived our husband and wife to Baoying, presumably it was also your doing." ”

The big man laughed and said, "What's the matter, what's the matter, if it's not what, if you are singing, don't think about it, let's go with the masters, so as not to look bad on your face." ”

Bai Yuchun said: "Big brother, what if I don't want to go?"

Dahan said: "Then don't blame us for being rude, brothers, ,......" Dahan looked like he was about to give an order.

Bai Yuchun said: "Slow, big brother, what do you call the boss?"

Dahan said: "Speaking out scares you to death, Hongze Lake Golden Retriever Water Monster." ”

The golden retriever monster of Hongze Lake is a ruthless and obscene character, if his wife Liu Yiyi goes, there is a chance that something will happen. Bai Yuchun said: "My wife is sick and it is inconvenient to go out, so I can go with you in the next person." ”

Dahan said: "No. Your wife has to go too, whether you go or not, that's whatever, my eldest likes to listen to women singing the most. ”

The father-in-law was angry on the side and said, "Under the blue sky and white sun, you have to rob the people's daughters." ”

The big man was furious and scolded: "If you rob it, you can rob it, what can you do, Lao Tzu won't rob one or two, the old man will not die, and he will be tired of living." Shaking his hand was a slap in the face, which caused the old man to bleed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the sky, and the back of his head hit the corner of the stool, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and he passed out.

The mother-in-law howled, crying and pounced on the big man, and the big man flew up and kicked the center entrance, and the mother-in-law snorted and passed out.

Liu Yiyi wept and wailed, and pounced on her parents, Bai Yuchun was furious, and slammed her fist at the door of the big man.

The big man shook his body, held his hand, grabbed his wrist, and walked to the ground, Bai Yuchun sighed, his wrist was grabbed by him, and he knelt on the ground, unable to move. Immediately, two men came up, tied him up, stuffed a stinky sock in his mouth, put a black cloth cover on his head, picked him up and left.

Liu Yiyi called for help: "Someone, someone is dying, robbers are killing." ......" Two men came up, stuffed a towel into her mouth, put a black cloth cover on her head, picked her up, and walked out.

The big men dragged Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi to the door, a big carriage was parked at the door, and when they opened the door, they pushed Bai Yuchun and his wife into the car, and the door was closed tightly with a "clang".

Three men came in the car, two men pressed Bai Yuchun, and one man pressed Liu Yiyi. The carriage left, and after walking a short distance, the carriage boarded the boat, which was a sailboat, driving between rivers and lakes, and the men in the cabin were chatting, and one said: "Brother, why did you stuff a towel in the woman's mouth and a stinky sock in the man? ”

Another person smiled: "You don't understand this, it's not that Lao Tzu pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, the woman is more watery, the head has taken a fancy to it, you stuff a stinky sock, the mouth is full of stink, you can't wash it clean, go to bed, the head will definitely not be happy, when the time comes to find you mildew, can you stand it." In the next life, the leader will listen to him sing and sing at most, stuff a stinky sock, and let him learn to be obedient, so that he will be much more honest when he sees the master in the future, so as not to spend more time on the master. There's a way here, learn a little, boy. ”

One person smiled and said: "Brother is careful, what level is my brother, what level are we, we can't learn it, follow my brother to fight, but it's so-so." ”

Bai Yuchun listened, anxious, made a "hmm" sound in his mouth, twisted his body and kicked his legs, but was kicked twice, someone came up and simply sat on his lap, and scolded: "Boy, no matter how honest you are, Lao Tzu will show you color, don't look at your fame, Lao Tzu will cut two knives on your face, see how you go to the stage to sing again." ”

About three hours later, it was already dark, and the sailboat was docked on an island.

The big men took Bai Yuchun and his wife to a hall on the island, someone came up and took off Bai Yuchun, Liu Yiyi's black cloth hood, untied the rope on Bai Yuchun's body, they opened their eyes and saw that the hall was brightly lit, hanging a plaque, writing "Fenjintang" three big characters, the hall was filled with the aroma of wine and meat, there was a wine table in the middle, the cups and plates on the table were messy, and there were ten crooked men sitting next to the table, all of them drank and blushed, and sitting in the middle was a golden retriever with yellow hair and yellow beard. Huang Toumao raised his glass and shouted: "Come on, Lao Tzu has a little trick, Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi, who are famous in Jianghuai, are also here to perform in Fenjin Hall today, oops, come here, take them to the side room to wash them, why are they so unkempt, it seems that the brothers of Hongzehu are too disrespectful to the artist." A few Lou Luo came up and brought Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi down.

After a while, after washing, Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi came to the hall. All the people at the wine table looked at them, drinking wine and eating meat at the same time, and shouted in a stack: "Come and fold "Farewell My Concubine". "Sing "Su Sanqi Solution". "It's still good to listen to "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

Huang Toumao said: "Two, do you hear it, sing it well." ”

Bai Yuchun said: "Singing is about the mood, the life and death of the father-in-law and mother-in-law in the family are unknown, the big boss, the villain really can't sing a word." ”

Liu Yiyi just lowered her head and cried.

Huang Toumao said: "As long as you two sing well and sing to make you happy, I will send you home tomorrow." If you don't sing well and push back, don't blame Lao Tzu for having a bad temper and not having your good fruit to eat. ”

In order to get out early, Bai Yuchun comforted his wife in every possible way, and the two of them beat their spirits and sang an excerpt of the leopard head Lin Chong's "Forcing Liangshan", because the situation was similar, it was performed vividly, but the bandits were very happy and applauded.

After singing, it is already a rising star. The ten thieves were also drunk, the food was full, and the play was also listened to, and they were all a little tired, and Huang Toumao said: "Today is gone, come back tomorrow, and send the woman to my room, from now on, it will be Lao Tzu's tenth aunt's wife, and send the boy surnamed Bai to the shore overnight, so as not to make noise." ”

Bai Yuchun knelt down and begged: "The big boss, raise your noble hand, if the Qingchun Opera Troupe loses my wife, the play will not be able to perform, and the Qingchun Opera Troupe will be yellow, I hope the king will open the net and let my wife go." ”

Huang Toumao smiled: "The Qingchun opera troupe can't fall, take care of my." If she is your wife, can't she be my wife, and I am not missing an arm or a leg, why should you do it, I can't do it, joke. ”

Liu Yiyi cried: "I don't want to, I don't want to." ”

Huang Toumao said: "There are many things that you don't want to do, those who don't want to farm are planting, those who don't want to bear the burden are picking, and those who don't want to go to prison are all sitting." Slowly, I got used to it. ”

Bai Yuchun said: "Big boss, just now you said that you sang well, just let us two go." Why did you change your mind again?"

Huang Toumao said: "Hey, you also scolded Lao Tzu for coming, what are you singing! What kind of drama can't you sing, singing Lin Chong's "Forcing Liangshan", could it be that Lao Tzu is Gao Yu, is Gao Yanei? Your wife is Lin Chong's wife, you pointed at the monk and scolded the thief bald, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, insinuating, it is obvious that you can't get along with Lao Tzu, and you haven't settled accounts with you, and you have been cheap. Come on, get him out of Fox Island. ”

Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi hugged each other and refused to be separated. A few men came up, broke their arms and raised their legs, and tore them apart stiffly. One was carried out of the hall, the other into the inner room. Heart-rending cries resounded inside and outside the hall.

A flat boat, two men, carried him to Hongze Lake, thrown into the reeds on the shore, he was cold and hungry, begged the fisherman on the shore to give him back to Baoying County, the boat money was paid together, and struggled back to his father-in-law's house in Baoying County. Pushing open the courtyard door, I saw that the two old men had no one to treat them, and their bodies were cold and they had already choked.

At that time, he didn't know what to do, but it happened that Liu Sange's carrier pigeon "Xiaobai" flew to him, so he wrote a letter for help to Liu Sange. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to the arrival of the third brother Liu, only the third brother can save him, only the third brother can save his beloved wife, without his wife, he feels that there is no daylight, and the world has become a chaotic darkness.

Time flies so slowly, and after the carrier pigeon "Xiaobai" went, there was no news. Maybe "Xiaobai" got lost, maybe "Xiaobai" lost the letter, maybe "Xiaobai" was taken away by the eagle, there has been no news of the third brother, he lost patience, and lost the confidence to live, so he committed suicide......

After listening to Bai Yuchun's narration, Third Brother Liu let out a long sigh and said, "Yuchun, if you die, what do you say your father will do?"

Bai Yuchun said: "Ah, Dad, I, I don't know......"

Third Brother Liu said: "Dad will be crazy, not crazy, he will die of depression, I know, Dad likes you the most, I can see it from the way Dad looks at you." ”

Bai Yuchun said: "Yes, no, my father's favorite is you, he protects you everywhere and spoils you, when I was a child, I couldn't figure it out, but I was jealous......"

Third Brother Liu said: "Yes, my father is protecting me and loves me the most, because I am not his own child, I am the child of the Liu family, my father is good to me out of respect for Qing officials, and he is good to me out of his natural kindness; ”

Bai Yuchun said: "Yes, maybe......"

Third Brother Liu said: "Not maybe, it's for sure." If you die, I will be very sad, and maybe, I will never have a smiling face in this life, but what does this have to do with you, it's none of your business. Third Brother Liu looked sad, and there was no blame in his tone.

Bai Yuchun said: "Brother, don't think so, the little brother is not right, the little brother should die, the little brother didn't think so much......"

Liu Sange said: "As soon as you die, the Qingchun Opera Troupe will have to break up, and the old and young masters will have to go their separate ways and fend for themselves, but you don't have to worry about it, once you die, you will be a hundred, let everyone be busy, full and hungry, it's their business, take care of your." ”

Bai Yuchun said: "Brother, the little brother thought badly for a while, the little brother shouldn't kill himself, forgive me." ”

Liu Sange took his hand and said: "Yuchun, don't be stupid in the future, everyone's life not only belongs to themselves, but also to their parents, wives, children and everyone who loves you, people have no right to cut themselves off, even if they don't want to live, they should grit their teeth, for the sake of their parents, wives, children and people who love you, live strongly, how can you bear to stick a knife in the hearts of these people!"

Bai Yuchun said: "Brother, remember, the younger brother understands." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Fortunately, you have a great life, and fortunately, I came in time to pull you back from Lord Yama." Yuchun, it's okay, let's go and save Yiyi, as long as Yiyi doesn't commit suicide, there is no problem in rescuing Yiyi, you can sleep in the bed and wrap it on your brother. ”

Bai Yuchun burst into tears and smiled, and said: "With my brother here, my heart will be steady, and with my brother here, my heart will be bright." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "However, you have to be obedient. ”

Bai Yuchun said: "I listen to what my brother says, don't I listen to you from childhood to adulthood." ”

Third Brother Liu Leng Ding asked, "What's my name?"

Bai Yuchun said: "Third Brother Liu." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Wrong. ”

Bai Yuchun patted his head and said, "Oh, I remember, I remember, it's called 'come without a trace'." ”

Liu Sange said: "This secret can't even be told to Liu Yiyi. ”

Bai Yuchun said: "I didn't say it, I haven't said it so far." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "This time, I came up with a name again. ”

Bai Yu said: "What's the name?"

Third Brother Liu smiled: "It's called 'Hu Daxian'." ”

Bai Yuchun said: "It's fun, fox fairy." ”

Liu Sange said with a smile: "If you go to Fox Island, you should be called Hu Daxian." ”
